Even better than we could have ever imagined

We had the best day. Even better than we could have ever imagined and it was certainly worth the wait. Everyone was very happy to be outside and able to enjoy the incredible views. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about Barra and how beautiful the venue and surroundings were. Also, a special thanks to you for being so wonderful while navigating our rescheduling.

Wow. Where do we start.

Wow. Where do we start. We honestly cannot thank you and all the Barra staff enough for making our wedding so amazing. We had the time of our lives. You have been amazing from start to finish with helping with all the planning and we’re so grateful. So many people have complimented how well run the night was and how great the staff were! In particular, the lady with blonde hair always keeping everyone topped up, she was so friendly & smiley and got so involved in the night. Cade was so smile

Barra was better than we could have ever hoped!

Our day at The Barn at Barra Castle was better than we could have ever hoped. The views are breath-taking and we were lucky enough to get married outside. We wanted a relaxed day, surrounded by all our favourites and the lay-out of the barn let us do just that. It's so beautifully decorated but we loved being able to personalise it too, and have had such lovely feedback from our guests who were as blown away by the setting as us.

They were superstars!

We attended the Littlejohn wedding on Saturday. I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing the staff were. So attentive, helpful and friendly. A special mention to the 2 experienced ladies behind the bar. They were superstars. They took very good care of us even though we were the outside seats furthest from the doors. Please pass on our thanks for a truly wonderful day
